"Who are all of your your previous guilds?"

On my server at least many guild leaders and officers have been in guilds with or have a report with the GMs and officers of other guilds. Before server transfers, faction transfers, name changes, etc. became available any potential applicants could have been checked out by one officer of the applied to guild by asking his buddy in the applicants former guild. Ninjas, drama queens, terribads, etc. were easy to spot and filter out.

Sometimes apps would claim that they were in a top tier raiding guild to try to gain an edge, but just shown to be liars when people from that guild were asked about the player (some even put that on when they were apping to that guild at the same time XD ).

Anyhoo, with as easy as it is to get a fresh start the question is just on there to check how much group experience someone has and how long they may last. An app with a few guilds in there that stuck around until a /gdispand is going to look better than someone with lots of guilds who keeps leaving due to some kind of friction with others in the guild or because they were board, and someone that hasn't been in a guild yet shows that they may be a new player which may make other good answers shine more.
